okay. this book took me about 10 hours. i didn't keep exact track of the time, this time.
it was utterly awful when i woke yesterday morning. i went to bed at 4 am, woke up at 7 am, was up all morning and afternoon waiting for my book to be delivered, took a fitful nap, woke up around 5 pm, still no sign of my book and richard had gone to walmart around 11 to pick up his own copy because he wouldn't be able to stand me having mine and he having to sit around while i read it...and it turned out the other way.
so we left around 5 to go to walmart again so i could temporarily buy a copy, to be returned when my copy in the mail came, but we checked the mail before leaving and it was in the mail box all along. thanks, ups. god.
despite richard having a six hour lead on me, by the time he went to bed i was 20 pages ahead of him, and i just now finished--his eyes were getting blurry and he has to work today anyway.
my mind's all boggy and i need to sleep now. i'm sad that it's over, but relieved, too. it's been a really great journey, from 5th grade to 12th.
